Do Christians and Churches Obey 1 Corinthians 13?

Do Christians and Churches Obey 1 Corinthians 13?

1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

COVID-19 and the Spiritual Ignorance of Many Orthodox and Pentecostal Churches

 

Majority of the orthodox and Pentecostal churches have failed to learn the lessons of Almighty God from the #COVID19 pandemic, because of their spiritual ignorance. To them is back to business as usual.

As my beloved mother, Mrs. Gladys Unuamaighiuwa Eke of blessed memory said:
"The Holy Spirit of God does not live in the house built with hands and bricks, but in the hearts of true believers. "


Many churches disobeying and ignoring the precautions for the control and prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic are not closer to Almighty God or holier than the churches with strict orders to prevent mass gatherings and barring anyone who is not wearing a facemask during and after the periods of the lockdown.

The body of Christ can gather in one accord from their different homes wherever they are in the world. All the mass gatherings of congregants for church programmes have not made churchgoers better Christians . 

The awesome body of Christ is higher and larger than any church auditorium or building in the world.
We must stop all the eye service and lip service to Almighty God, for we are only fooling ourselves in conceit and deceit, because we cannot fool HIM.

"God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
- John 4:24, Holy Bible.
